PREFACE

Maple Leaf Foods Inc. (MLF) strives for zero occupational injuries and diseases in the workplace, a goal driven by a commitment to employee safety as stated in MLF’s OHS Policy and MLF’s Safety Promise. The Occupational Health & Safety Policy clearly states, “the elimination of occupational injuries and diseases in all our facilities.” It further states, “We believe that zero occupational injuries, while challenging, is an attainable goal.” The Safety Promise states, “We commit to becoming a global leader in food safety and job safety.” To achieve this, Maple Leaf Foods Inc. strives to make employee safety an integral part of our workplace culture.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC PLAN 4 of 56

INTRODUCTION This Pandemic Plan has been created to prepare for and respond to a pandemic COVID-19 outbreak in an appropriate and timely manner. The plan's key objectives include: 1. Achieving effective preparation and response through clear processes for Maple Leaf Foods’ employees and stakeholders. 2. Sharing appropriate information with employees, customers, industry partners, and government in a timely manner. 3. Modifying procedures to protect our people, our business, and our community.

This guide is designed to help Maple Leaf Foods minimize the risk that a COVID-19 pandemic poses to the health and safety of employees, the continuity of business operations, and the effect on the community. It is intended to provide Maple Leaf Foods sites with the basic information they require in preparing a continuity plan to mitigate the potential effects of a pandemic.

As with any risk that threatens the viability of business operations, continuity planning is critical. All Maple Leaf Foods sites must take immediate steps to develop continuity plans that: 1. protect our people; 2. protect our business and minimize disruptions; and 3. protect our community and help prevent negative impacts on customers, consumers, and the economy.

While a pandemic cannot be stopped, proper preparation may reduce its impact. This guide provides the information that will assist all Maple Leaf Foods sites in preparing business continuity plans.

Maple Leaf Pandemic Program Model

COVID-19 PANDEMIC PLAN 5 of 56

Maple Leaf Foods’ Company Policy The goal is for us to maintain our high performance and the function of our business, while minimizing our in-person social interactions for the immediate future.

As of March 12, 2020: 1. Work from home if possible • To the extent possible, you are asked to work from home and leverage technology solutions available to you. 2. Eliminating all in person meetings, unless absolutely required • We have cancelled any meetings that are not essential and replaced them with leveraging technology as much as we possibly can. • If meetings or events absolutely cannot be conducted remotely and an in-person meeting is required, there cannot be more than 20 people in attendance. (Reduced to a maximum of 5 people in attendance in Ontario as of March 29, 2020.) 3. No visitors please! • No external visitors are permitted at our sites or offices., except for essential services required to run the business. 4. Stop visiting business partners in person • We have implemented a ban on visits to our customer offices, suppliers, producers or other business partners • All planned visits should be cancelled and replaced with technology engagements. 5. No business travel • We have implemented a ban on business travel. 6. Personal travel implications • If you or members of your household are travelling internationally, we ask that you report this to your supervisor or Human Resources so that our quarantine policies, which are possibly changing daily, can be properly applied to you.

Revised On March 14, 2020 Following any international travel by you, you must self-quarantine for 14 days from the date of return and before returning to the workplace, you must complete our COVID-19 screening tool.

So, for example, if you: • returned from an international trip 10 days ago, you must quarantine for 4 more days • are currently in another country and return, you must self-quarantine for 14 days from the return date • go to another country and come back, you must self-quarantine for 14 days from the return date.

Revised On March 31, 2020 • The Meadowvale Campus was closed and locked (only accessible with MLF employee card for authorized personnel). Employees with essential roles whose work cannot be conducted at home may request for authorization by completing the “Work At Meadowvale Campus Request Form”.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC PLAN 6 of 56

Revised On April 21, 2020 • All employees and visitors (including contractors and temporary agency employees) must be screened everyday using the “COVID-19 Screening Tool”. That is, there will be 100% screening of everybody who enters a MLF site.

Revised On June 8, 2020 • At this time, we are expecting to delay the full general opening of our corporate offices until at least September 1st. EDUCATION The key to preventing disease outbreak is understanding the disease. Maple Leaf Foods has implemented various educational initiatives.

• Communication to and education for our employees: o Signage and training material have been developed. o The objective is to fully understand perception versus risk, as well as to understand the North American outlook and the global outlook.

o Town Hall online meetings have been provided across all Maple Leaf Foods sites to cover COVID- 19 pandemic fundamentals (background and origin, global status, spread, symptoms, complications, mode of transmission, disease prevention by protection and response strategies (e.g. hand hygiene, coughing/sneezing etiquette), and contingency plans.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC PLAN 7 of 56

PROTECTING OUR PEOPLE

Social Distancing Social distancing is a strategy to limit the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. This is a conscious effort to reduce contact between people to slow down the spread of the virus. Even if you are symptom free and not part of an at-risk group, you still need to change your lifestyle starting today to avoid contracting and spread of the virus.

The goal is to do everything possible to limit our in-person interactions, while finding new and more protective ways to operate the physical infrastructure so the food still flows

Social Distancing In Our Plant Environments • Plant employees asked to report to work, abide by our screening and social distancing processes. • While working on the production floor or other plant areas, all employees are to: o Wear your Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). o Observe Good Manufacturing Processes (GMPs). o Wash, sanitize hands regularly, cough/sneeze into upper sleeve or elbow (not your hands). o Avoid physical contact wherever possible. • Further preventative options are to be explored, such as: o Staggering start times and break times to avoid large groups of employees. o Designating other rooms for break areas. o Reducing non-critical meetings and non-essential visitors. o Increasing our sanitation and disinfection practices.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC PLAN 8 of 56

COVID-19 Screening • To help maintain a healthy workforce and workplace, all visitors (including contractors and agency employees) will be screened every day for influenza-like illness prior to coming into the workplace. • Privacy requirements (Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act /PIPEDA and United States’ Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act/HIPAA) will be managed and people will be treated with respect and dignity during the screening process. • MLF’s COVID-19 Screening Tool is used to determine if visitors and employees should be excluded from the workplace due to illness or exposure. If visitors are not pre-screened over the telephone (preferable screening method), they will need to be screened before entering beyond the entrance area. • Maple Leaf Foods employees are also screened for any COVID-19 compatible symptoms with unknown cause within the past week. (Reference: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s/CDC’s “Discontinuation of Isolation for Persons with COVID-19 Not in Healthcare Settings (Interim Guidance) • Unwell employees are instructed to stay home until their symptoms have disappeared and are followed up with on a daily basis. • If anybody screened with the tool indicate “yes” for any flu-like symptoms (i.e., fever, cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, chills, runny nose, sore throat, weakness, muscle aches, headache, diarrhea, vomiting, or new smell or taste disorders), the screener immediately contacts the site COVID-19 designate/site HSSE designate in person or over the telephone. Any individuals who are in self-quarantine for 14 days post-travel and/or exposure risk are tracked at the site level. • Any employees who have received COVID-19 testing for medically based reasons (e.g., significant exposure with household contacts, relevant travel history, symptomatic, advised by medical professional, etc.) are also tracked by the Senior HSSE Team. • Before any employee can return to the workplace from self-quarantine, it must be approved by the site COVID-19 designate through the “COVID-19 Screening Tool” process. • Effective April 22, 2020, all employees and visitors (including contractors and temporary agency employees) must be screened everyday using the “COVID-19 Screening Tool”. That is, there will be 100% screening of everybody who enters a MLF site. • CFIA inspectors are not in the position to sign COVID-19 screening forms (or similar documents). They are required to follow the policies, procedures, and terms of employment established by their employer, the CFIA. They must, however, participate in the MLF temperature monitoring procedures prior to entering the MLF site. • Please refer to the Screening SOP and Screening Guidelines for detailed requirements.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC PLAN 9 of 56

Self-Quarantine/Self-Isolation • Self-quarantine or self-isolation means staying home and not going anywhere, unless you need medical care. Many COVID-19 patients are advised to isolate at home while they recover. • Persons with COVID-19 who have symptoms and were directed to care for themselves at home may discontinue isolation under the following conditions (based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s/CDC’s “Discontinuation of Isolation for Persons with COVID-19 Not in Healthcare Settings (Interim Guidance)”: o At least 3 days (72 hours) have passed since recovery defined as resolution of fever without the use of fever-reducing medications and o Improvement in respiratory symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath); and, o At least 10 days have passed since symptoms first appeared.

How To Self-Isolate and Prevent Spread To Others In Your Home: • Stay home: o Do not use public transportation, taxis or rideshares. o Do not go to work, school or other public places. o Your health care provider or public health unit will tell you when it is safe to leave. o Avoid having visitors in your home unless necessary. o If necessary, visits must be kept short and social distancing must be observed at all times. o Postpone all non-essential appointments until you are out of isolation. o Keep away from seniors and people with chronic medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, lung problems, and immune deficiency). • Avoid contact with others: o Stay in a separate room away from other people in your home as much as possible. o Use a separate bathroom, if you have one. o Make sure that shared rooms have good airflow (e.g., open windows). • Cover your coughs and sneezes: o Cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve or elbow, not your hand. o Throw used tissues in a lined wastebasket to make disposal safer and wash your hands. o After emptying the wastebasket, wash your hands. • Wash your hands: o Wash your hands often with hot, soapy water for at least 20 seconds. o Dry your hands with a paper towel and discard. o Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer (with minimum of 70% isopropyl alcohol) if soap and water are not available.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC PLAN 10 of 56

Temperature Monitoring Employee safety, as well as our customers and consumers safety, are our #1 priority. Now, more than ever, we must work together to supply safe, wholesome product to the public.

The Senior Leadership Team has been investigating the use of temperature checks as a preventative measure in the workplace. Upon guidance from our medical professionals and as a preventative measure, Maple Leaf Foods has endorsed this process.

All employees, visitors, and contractors will be required to have their temperature taken, upon entry to the facility. A trained individual in administering temperature checks will use a “Thermal Infrared Thermometer” and any individuals who have a temperature of 37.5°C or 99.5°F or higher will not be permitted to enter any Maple Leaf Foods facility.

Our health and safety team has identified and trained specific individuals to administer the temperature checks in a respectful and dignified manner. The appropriate training is provided to the individuals taking the temperature checks. The measuring and recording of a temperature, which involves no contact with the individual whose temperature is being measured, does not require health professional credentials. Training is provided to the screeners.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC PLAN 11 of 56

Carpooling • Safer carpooling practices were shared across Maple Leaf Foods to provide some information for those who have to carpool and how to reduce the spread of COVID-19. o If you have ANY symptoms, stay home and contact your health provider. DO NOT risk spreading this virus, or any illness. o When possible, avoid carpooling to work. When you must carpool, ask all riders to wash hands thoroughly for 20 seconds with warm, soapy water before getting in the car. o Limit the number of people in one vehicle at a time as much as possible. o Space out seating as much as possible to keep distance and avoid contact. o Wipe any contact surfaces (like door handles and seat belts buckles) with soap and water or sanitizer before every instance of carpooling. Always read the label and follow the product instructions. Also, test it first on a small spot. o Don't touch your eyes, nose or mouth while carpooling. o Follow cough etiquette by coughing into your sleeve or a tissue, disposing the tissue afterwards and washing your hands. o Upon arriving at work or at home, wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with hot, soapy water and use an alcohol- based hand sanitizer when available. o Wash your hands and use hand sanitizer frequently throughout the day whether at home or at work. o Face protection must be worn at all times while carpooling. (Note: Face shield by itself is insufficient. A mask or respirator must be worn.)

COVID-19 Face Protection and Physical Barriers • Effective April 17, 2020, all employees, contractors, temporary employees, and visitors (including emergency personnel) are required to wear face protection (as approved by the Corporate Food Safety and Quality and Senior HSSE Team Face Cover Committee) at all times while at any Maple Leaf Foods site (e.g., everywhere on MLF property, including parking lots, screening area, production, offices, test kitchens, product or process development pilot plants/kitchens, walk-in freezers and coolers, laboratories, welfare areas, maintenance shops, distribution centres, barns, farms, feed mills, hatcheries, during the COVID-19 pandemic, except while eating, drinking, or smoking during breaktimes. Masks may only be removed if working alone in a closed office. • When walking on the parking lot to the screening area, personal face protection (at least 2 layers and without MLF approval) can be worn. If a buff is worn on the parking lot, the fabric must be doubled up and it must be able to cover the mouth and nose. Physical distancing of at least 6 feet (2 metres) must be maintained. The personal face protection (at least 2 layers) worn on the parking lot must be washed on a regular basis. • Single layer face covering and masks with exhalation valves are not permitted anywhere on MLF property.. (Note: Exhalation valves differ from N95 respirator two-way values.) Non-MLF-purchased masks (i.e., not approved by Corporate FSQ/Senior HSSE Face Cover Committee) are not permitted past the screening area.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC PLAN 12 of 56

• Effective July 16, 2020, while using the washrooms, face protection must be worn. For “Ready-To-Eat (RTE)” plants (including both “raw” and “RTE” production areas), masks worn outside production areas (including washrooms, welfare areas, cafeterias, etc.) must not be worn in production areas. New masks must be donned when entering into production areas. For “raw” plants, masks worn in cafeterias or in areas where food is consumed may not be worn in production areas. Masks may only be removed if working alone in a closed office. • Also, workers must not share face masks or respirators unless sterilized by an approved method. • Where there may be a shortage of mask supply, alternate masks may be used as approved by the Corporate Food Safety and Quality (FSQ) and Senior HSSE Team Face Cover Committee. All face coverings must be approved by the Corporate FSQ/Senior HSSE Face Cover Committee prior to purchase. Single layer face coverings and non- MLF-purchased (i.e., not approved by Corporate FSQ/Senior HSSE Face Cover Committee) are not permitted at MLF sites. (Refer to the ”Allowable Face Protection During COVID-19” document and MLF approved mask catalogue.) • Face protection must be used in conjunction with other important prevention measures: o at least 6 feet (2 metres) social distance where possible; o frequent handwashing with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds or alcohol-based hand sanitizer to maintain clean hands and fingernails; o respiratory etiquette with coughing or sneezing (i.e., using sleeve); o routine cleaning of frequently used surfaces and objects; o isolation for a symptomatic individual who is suspected of having, or known to have (confirmed or positive), COVID-19 (such individuals would not be allowed on any MLF site). • Used/soiled face protection must be removed following the removal process. • Screeners wear face protection (e.g., face shield and/or shield to the face/plexiglass and N95 or KN95) and gloves prior to screening all employees and visitors (including contractors and temporary employees). • Face protection (personal or company-provided) must be worn prior to entering screening area, including waiting in line for screening. If personal face protection is not used, then company-provided face protection can be given to employees during the prior shift so that they can wear it for the next shift as soon as they enter the MLF property (e.g., exiting their vehicle or walking onto MLF property) so that they already are wearing the face protection at the screening. • Used/soiled face protection must be removed following the removal process as outlined under “requirements/procedure in the “COVID-19 Face Protection and Physical Barriers” SOP. • Physical Barriers: o Configure communal work environments so that employees are spaced at least 2 metres (6 feet) apart, if possible. Current information about the asymptomatic spread of COVID-19 supports the need for social distancing and other protective measures within a meat and poultry processing work environment. Changes in production practices may be necessary in order to maintain appropriate distances among employees. o Modify the alignment of workstations, including along processing lines, if feasible, so that employees are at least 2 metres (6 feet) apart in all directions (e.g., side-to-side and when facing one another), when possible. Ideally, modify the alignment of workstations so that employees do not face one another. Consider using markings and signs to remind employees to maintain their location at their station away from each other and practice social distancing on breaks.’

COVID-19 PANDEMIC PLAN 13 of 56

o Use physical barriers, such as strip curtains, plexiglass or similar materials, or other impermeable dividers or partitions (Food Safety-approved), to separate employees from each other, if feasible. If a physical barrier is added to the production floor, the barrier’s design must be reviewed, assessed, and signed off by FSQ and Sanitation Director. It must follow current Food Safety and Sanitation protocols. Food Safety and Sanitation risks, defined mitigations, and changes to protocols must be documented. o When physical barriers between employees less than 2 metres (6 feet) apart are not feasible (e.g., when there is significant impact on production), face protection (i.e., mask coverings) and eye protection (i.e., safety glasses) are required. Such employees must practise safe and frequent hand hygiene. (Place handwashing stations or hand sanitizers with at least 60% alcohol in multiple locations to encourage hand hygiene. If possible, choose hand sanitizer stations that are touch-free.) o Disinfect frequently and/or use anti-fog wipes to prevent employees needing to take off the glasses. o Add additional clock in/out stations, if possible, that are spaced apart, to reduce crowding in these areas. Consider alternatives, such as staggering times for employees to clock in/out touch-free methods (e.g., supervisor checks off names from a list at the entrance and later manually enters into the system). o Remove or rearrange chairs and tables, or add partitions to tables in break rooms and other areas where employees may frequent to increase employee separation. Identify alternative areas to accommodate overflow volume, such as training and conference rooms, trailers, or using outside tents for break and lunch areas. o Conceptual barrier drawings assist sites in installing/designing barriers for COVID-19. The details for each installation will be done at the site level. • Cafeteria Table Barrier

KEYS TO ATTACK COMPLACENCY THROUGH BUY-IN

Across the company, there needs to be a continuous urgency to keep getting better with zero complacency! We must never lose sight of safety and the COVID-19 initiatives in our midst. Complacency is unacceptable and actually unfair to our employees.

There are three main areas of focus to attack complacency: 1. Communication: 2. Testing Our Systems: 3. Engagement:

To support the three main areas of focus, each area has a 30-day, 60-day, and 90-day execution plan.

In addition to attacking complacency, the audit program will continue that includes weekly layered processing audits, monthly validations, and scorecard reports.

RESPONDING TO A CONFIRMED COVID-19 CASE

Sanitation • Maple Leaf Foods’ “Response to a Coronavirus (COVID-19) Positive in the Workplace Plant” standard operating procedures detail the steps for cleaning and disinfection of affected workstations, non-production areas, offices, welfare areas, or pathways which an employee who has tested positive for COVID-19 had access to. • Plant production areas that are cleaned and sanitized daily is sufficient to assure a safe environment for front line employee to manufacture food products every day. • Sanitation processes must be executed with the correct staffing and time to achieve consistent and acceptable results. • Scheduled non-daily tasks (deep cleaning and heat intervention) must be completed as scheduled. • Disinfection procedures in non-production areas (welfare areas, hallways, etc.) support enhanced hand hygiene practices. Common touchpoint surfaces (such as tables, door handles, etc.) are disinfected at regular intervals throughout normal business hours. • In the event that an employee tests positive for COVID-19, the impacted site will undergo a deep clean procedure of all auxiliary areas, cafeteria, washrooms, welfare areas, etc. • Please refer to Maple Leaf Foods’ “Response to a Coronavirus (COVID-19) Positive in the Workplace” SOP for further details. The procedure is outlined below: o Determine the scope of the cleaning/disinfection. ▪ Secure the premises: The main office door is to be closed and locked. A note is to be placed on the front door of the building alerting employees not involved in the cleaning/disinfection to not enter until permitted to do so. Everybody entering the premises must wear: face mask, disposable gloves and eye protection. ▪ All welfare areas, travel pathways, and common touchpoint surfaces are in scope to be cleaned and disinfected. The focus will be on “horizontal” surfaces. ▪ Individual work stations are out of scope; however, “hotel” work stations are in scope. o Performing cleaning and disinfecting of the affected areas. ▪ The janitorial employees must be wearing a face protection, protective eyewear and disposable gloves at all times while performing this task. ▪ The janitorial staff must clean all surfaces with soap and water (5% concentration) and the surfaces must be dry before the disinfection step. ▪ Janitorial staff must replace PPE with new PPE before starting disinfection. ▪ Janitorial staff are to use a 500 ppm bleach solution to effectively disinfect all welfare areas, travel pathways, and common touchpoint surfaces. The focus will be on “horizontal” surfaces. The solution is not to be applied to a cloth damp with water as this will dilute the disinfectant. Contact time of 2 min is required before surfaces can be wiped dry. Use a clean cloth the wipe dry the disinfected surfaces. ▪ Once all surfaces have been disinfected, used gloves, face masks and wipes must be placed inside of a secured garbage bag. The garbage bag is then taken to the designated garbage area and disposed of. All reusable items such as pails, mops, cloths, etc. must be cleaned and disinfected. ▪ Janitorial staff conducting the cleaning are to wash hands with soap and hot water for 30 seconds after the task has been completed.’

COVID-19 Return to Work • Return To Work Notifications: o An employee (including contractors and temporary employees) must immediately notify their designated sick line or Human Resources designate over the telephone (prior to returning to the workplace) if:

COVID-19 PANDEMIC PLAN 21 of 56

▪ returning from international travel (interprovincial/interstate travel guidelines may also apply) with exceptions (e.g., commercial transportation of goods and services); refer to local provincial or state guidelines; ▪ showing flu-like symptoms (i.e., fever, cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, chills, runny nose, sore throat, weakness, muscle aches, headache, diarrhoea, or vomiting) or new smell or taste disorders; ▪ being tested for COVID-19 for medically based reasons (e.g., significant exposure with household contacts, relevant travel history as above, symptomatic, advised by medical professional, etc.) or anyone in the household being tested for COVID-19; or; ▪ receiving a positive test result for COVID-19. o Site COVID-19 designate follows up with employees (including contractors and temporary employees) for any of the above-mentioned conditions before they return to the workplace. o Every day, the site COVID-19 designate must call the employee who has been tested for COVID-19 to follow up on the test result. o In the case of a positive COVID-19 employee confirmation: ▪ Site COVID-19 designate immediately notifies the site leadership team (SLT) and Regional HSSE Manager; ▪ Site Leader notifies VP of Manufacturing. ▪ Site Human Resources (HR) designate contacts Corporate HR business partner. ▪ Site Food Safety and Quality Assurance designate contacts Food Safety and Quality Director. ▪ Senior HSSE Team launches (EMC) notification to inform other senior MLF stakeholders. ▪ Site COVID-19 designate consults with and follows public health’s recommendations for any positive COVID-19 employees. ▪ Site COVID-19 designate provides immediate verbal notification to Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and the local Public Health unit for direction of what to do at the workplace. o Verbal notification to CFIA is provided without any details for COVID-19 testing of a plant employee. If CFIA wants details, then verbally provide: ▪ last date at the establishment - XX, 2020; date COVID sample submitted – YY, 2020 o In the case of a confirmed positive COVID-19 employee confirmation to CFIA, prepare the following information for a risk assessment: ▪ Employee 1 (name to be provided verbally to CFIA only if the employee consents): ▪ date of onset of symptoms ▪ date of confirmed diagnosis ▪ where the employee works ▪ Normal working hours (e.g., 3:30 p.m. – 12 midnight) ▪ Hourly employee’s position ▪ Where does the employee enter the plant, locker room location, specific spot in employee lunch room, where the employee enters which offices (main, supervisor, health unit), where the employee enters which hallways and rooms (inedible room, compactor, coolers, shipping dock)

• Return to Work Criteria With Confirmed or Suspected COVID-19: o Site COVID-19 designate (in consultation with Regional HSSE Manager) uses the below symptom-based strategy to determine when an employee, contractor, or temporary employee may return to work: o Employees are to be excluded from work until: ▪ At least 3 days (72 hours) have passed since recovery, which is defined as resolution of fever without the use of fever-reducing medications; and ▪ improvement in respiratory symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath); and ▪ At least 10 days have passed since symptoms first appeared. o Note: If an employee was never tested for COVID-19, but has an alternate diagnosis (e.g., tested positive for influenza), criteria for return to work should be based on that diagnosis and complete internal screening.)

COVID-COVID19 PANDEMIC-19 PLAYBOOK PLAN 25 of 56 Supplement to Pandemic Plan, Emergency Plans, and Continuity of Operations Plans EMPLOYEE AT A MAPLE LEAF FOODS SITE TESTS POSITIVE1 FOR COVID-19

Assume: Employee received notification while at home but has likely had the virus for 1+ days at work.

Note: Steps are to be completed with urgency and immediacy from “time zero” (notification of the positive COVID-19 case).

The Maple Leaf Foods (MLF) site must use the following guidance to manage response.

1. EXPECT NOTICE - If an employee tests positive for COVID-19, it is expected that the employee must notify MLF. Site COVID-19 designate will follow up with employee for test results. Immediate verbal notification must be provided to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) upon receipt of a public health authority request for COVID-19 testing of a plant employee and a COVID-19 positive employee. It is likely that the local municipality will share additional expectations at this time. Expectations may differ by municipality or region. An approved letter may be later sent to CFIA that includes details from the investigation (e.g., risk assessment). The letter must be approved by senior leaders (e.g., Government Affairs, Operations, FSQA leads).

2. FOLLOW HEALTH INSTRUCTIONS - The site must consult with and follow public health’s2 recommendations relating to the site’s response and request for their assistance in determining the risks to the other employees (including CFIA employees). Any employee confirmed to test positive for COVID-2019 (symptomatic or asymptomatic) must comply with public health’s instructions. The employee will not be permitted to return to work until deemed healthy (all clear) as per Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) guidance: a) at least 3 days (72 hours) have passed since recovery, which is defined as resolution of fever (37.5°C or 99.5°F) without the use of fever-reducing medications; Improvement in respiratory symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath); and at least 10 days have passed since symptoms first appeared.

3. PROTECT PERSONNEL INFORMATION - MLF managing personnel must not release personal information about employee’s identity or health status. (Note: investigating team may include multiple managers/supervisors; all must comply with confidentiality and privacy obligations). Employees may voluntarily disclose their status (e.g., to colleagues). They must inform MLF as per the “EXPECT NOTICE” above. Anyone who has access to an employee’s medical information must ensure they comply with confidentiality and privacy obligations.

1 Similar procedures must be followed if an employee is at MLF with symptoms of coughing or shortness of breath with fever of 37.5°C or 99.5°F or higher or potential exposure to COVID-19 due to travel to impacted areas or contact with someone with the illness. Such an employee must be sent home and directed to contact their primary care provide or local public health unit over the telephone for further instructions, regardless of their travel or contact history.

2 Public Health units continue to actively monitor the COVID-19 situation in collaboration with provincial or state and national health colleagues and stakeholders that include local hospitals and community agencies. Cases and potential suspect cases of the COVID-19 are reportable to local health authorities. If there are potential cases of which public health units have been notified, they would immediately follow up directly with these individuals to let them know. They would inform these individuals that they may have been exposed to a potential health risk, what signs and symptoms they should look out for, and when and what . type of medical treatment should be sought out, if that becomes necessary. This work is part of routine public health follow-up of a case of an infectious disease. (See Appendix E.)

4. GIVE NOTICE TO SITE’S COVID-19 DESIGNATE - Based on MLF’s Incident Command structure and the MLF Pandemic Plan, the person who is given notice of the employee’s status must contact the site’s COVID-19 designate to provide the employee’s name, work location at the site, and contact information, including phone number.

5. RESPOND AT THE SITE - The site COVID-19 designate must immediately inform the site leader and the Regional Health, Safety, Security, and Sanitation (HSSE) Manager, Food Safety and Quality Director, and the Corporate Human Resources (HR) designate. Together they must comply with MLF Pandemic Plan and this guidance to coordinate response and assess the employee’s contact and movements at the site. Map employee movement. Assess potential contact with any employees who have been designated high risk. Also, take necessary steps to mitigate spread of the illness, including: a) LABOUR OBLIGATIONS – Work with site HR to determine responsibilities under collective bargaining agreements. b) INTERVIEW - To assess the employee’s contact and movements at the MLF site, the site COVID-19 designate must quickly coordinate telephone or electronic outreach to the employee to collect work-related information. (See Appendix A.) c) HEALTH GUIDANCE – Contact MLF’s medical consultant and Health Practitioner’s Team. d) LOCAL OFFICIALS - Contact local Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and public health officials, follow recommendations of local public health, and manage site response. (See Appendix E.) e) INFORM IMPACTED PERSONNEL – While protecting the employee’s identity and health status, inform employees who are potentially impacted by the movements of the infected employee of their possible exposure to COVID- 19 in the workplace. Keep in mind to attempt to minimize any anxiety in the messaging. Work with Corporate Communications and HR to prepare employee communication (e.g., situation and next steps). The confidentiality of the infected employee must be kept as required by applicable law. Employees exposed to a co-worker with confirmed COVID-19 must be directed to the local Public Health for guidance for how to conduct a risk assessment of their potential exposure. Care must be taken to protect the individual’s (with confirmed COVID- 19) identity. f) COVID-19 INVESTIGATION – Assemble the “COVID-19 Investigation Team” including Food Safety, Quality Assurance, HSSE, Sanitation, Maintenance, and Operations. The HSSE and FSQA leads must be involved for coaching or support during the investigation. The COVID-19 designate will provide the team with information about the location(s) where the infected employee had contact with an employee movement map. Based on the severity of the problem, the Director, Occupational Health and Safety and/or V.P., Safety, Security, Sanitation, and Environment could request external support to lead the investigation. The COVID-19 Investigation Team reviews the map for a clear understanding of exactly where the infected employee had contact. If positive case confirmation is obtained after business hours, the investigation team should be called into action and begin the inspection process. Determine contamination sources and take a team approach to decide on the quarantine protocol option to proceed with (e.g., production quarantine or mass quarantine). If it is possible to define a cohort of employees who spent significant time within 6 feet or 2 metres of the infected employee, that cohort could go into a “production quarantine”. The object is to build some fencing around those potentially exposed. The investigation along with the very important public health consultation would help determine the quarantine option. See Appendix G: Continuance of Plant Operation Model for COVID-19. To the extent possible: • restrict access to potentially impacted area(s) until the impacted areas are properly assessed and appropriate deep cleaning and disinfection has been conducted. • provide alternate entry and exit routes for employees in or near impacted areas to avoid potentially impacted areas or allow for alternate work locations until the areas are properly assessed and appropriate sanitization is conducted. Note: Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s (CFIA) site visit should be viewed as an inspection/ investigation to gain more facts and understanding of the situation. CFIA’s inspection is above and beyond the internal investigation.

Revision Date: April 7, 2020

Operators are to include the following procedures in their COVID-19 response plans.

1. The operator shall notify the CFIA immediately upon receipt of information of: • a public health authority request for COVID-19 testing of a plant employee • a COVID-19 positive employee

2. Information provided should include all pertinent details such as: • The date of confirmed diagnosis (if applicable) • The date of onset of symptoms and if the employee was at the establishment • The locations at the establishment where the employee delivered their functions, were likely present (lunch room, etc.) or travelled through (specific corridors, stairways, etc.) • Any other information relevant to identifying individuals who may have had contact with the positive employee.

3. When receiving information of a COVID-19 positive employee or employee being tested as a suspect case, the operator will: • notify local public health authorities • request local public health authorities’ assistance in determining the risks to other employees and to CFIA employees who also work at their establishment.

The operator will determine, as outlined in their response plan, if the duties of the employee(s) may have resulted in close contact, as defined by PHAC, with CFIA employees. The operator will notify the CFIA of their determination.

If the local public health authority is not able to provide assistance in the determination of risks to other employees, the operator shall seek the support of appropriate expertise (for example, Occupational Health and Safety professionals or Provincial/Industry working groups) to develop and implement the appropriate remediation plans, including ensuring appropriate action to be taken with individuals potentially exposed to the COVID-19 positive employee. 4. CFIA will ask the operator to provide information and documents to support an appropriate assessment of the risk to CFIA employees. While CFIA will consider the protocols/procedures in place by individual establishments, plus the particularities of the positive plant employee (where on the line, what kind of work, common areas with our employees, time spent with our employee, etc.) and ideally the advice from local public health, in the interim, if CFIA can't get this advice quickly, the Agency will need to consider the other information to the best of its abilities and weigh the potential risk to our workforce with the impact on establishment operations/animal welfare.

5. Where local public health authorities have determined that a site investigation is required or the operator and CFIA agree that such a site investigation is necessary, the operator will request the participation of CFIA in the investigation. The purpose will be to appropriately determine the health impacts to CFIA staff. The CFIA will COVID -19 PLAYBOOK Supplement COVID to Pandemic-19 PANDEMIC Plan, Emergency PLAN Plans, and Continuity of 41 of 56 Operations Plans

identify a team which may include experienced slaughter/meat processing staff, Health and Safety Committee or Representative member, and if necessary, to provide technical advice the Area OSH Coordinator/Advisor as well as appropriate CFIA management.

6. Slaughter operators are reminded to consult with suppliers and CFIA regarding receipt of live animals should production be affected.

Outcomes: • In collaboration with CFIA management and using information already collected, local public health authorities will make decisions regarding exposure to plant and CFIA employees, their need for self-quarantine and/or referral to health services for testing. • Based on the information gathered above, some CFIA employees may be deemed to have had negligible risk and can be cleared for further work. • An assessment of the operator's plans for additional mitigation measures for COVID-19 will be jointly evaluated. Results from the CFIA review of written information from the company will be used by both CFIA and local public health authorities in the determination of appropriate steps to ensure the safety of all workers.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC PLAN 46 of 56

MLF’s Emergency Management Council (EMC):

• Maple Leaf Foods’ cross-functional teams have been assembled to: o Assess the overall risk to the business (internal and external); o Prepare functional recovery plans (example below); o Create a decision-making matrix; o Practice tabletop exercise(s). o See example below of a functional group’s completed functional recovery plan.

Tabletop Exercises

Tabletop exercises provide the most efficient way to test and improve the effectiveness of MLF’s Pandemic Plan and Crisis Response Team. These are valuable exercises for both the Emergency Management Council and individual MLF sites to gain practice and experience. They help better understand how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines are applied in the decisions and actions taken during the tabletop exercise of a COVID-19 positive case. All MLF sites are scheduled tabletop exercises for phase 1 (protecting our people) and phase 2 (protecting our business).

Phase 1 (Protecting Our People - Prevention) Tabletop Exercises: • Purpose: o To review the required procedures to take when a positive COVID-19 case is reported. o To review roles and responsibilities of the site emergency response team. o To incorporate the need for assistance from the Emergency Management Council o To review steps with the MLF’s Emergency Management Council • Start date: Week of March 27, 2020

COVID-19 PANDEMIC PLAN 47 of 56

Phase 2 (Protecting Our Business) Tabletop Exercises: • Building upon the phase one exercises the approach taken for phase 2 of the tabletop exercises will be real- life simulation. That is, these exercises will be conducted as if an actual COVID-19 positive case is taking place at a site. • Beginning with the “10-Step Process”, each site will work with a facilitator to guide them through to completion of a risk assessment, including a virtual walk-through, action plan development, and discussion on communications within the site and to internal and external stakeholders (i.e., Public Health and CFIA). • Purpose: o To make necessary changes to the site’s COVID-19 program as determined by the tabletop exercise (e.g. addressing identified gaps). o To involve the Emergency Management Council and functional groups for support as they would be in the event of an actual COVID-19 positive case. o Tabletop exercises for sites are scheduled by the facilitators. Site schedule order is determined by the operational Leaders by priority basis on their high-risk sites until all sites are completed. • Start date: April 23, 2020

Internal Audits

Maple Leaf Foods’ Internal Audit team has assembled to conduct virtual audits of all MLF sites to ensure compliance to COVID-19 program initiatives. The audit purpose is to ensure systems of controls around COVID-19 response are designed and operating effectively to protect our employees and minimize disruption on the business.

• Audit approach: Developed audit criteria and conducted interviews (along with health and safety) with site COVID- 19 teams and leadership. Rapid process to identify immediate gaps/exposure points • Scope: MLF’s 34 sites (plants, hatcheries, barns, distribution centres, offices)

The Phase 1 and Phase 2 internal audit results are compiled in a tracker to monitor the completion of any identified gaps during the audit. See below for a screenshot of the audit results tracker. Phase 2 audits were conducted to audit the framework of the Business Continuity Plans.

Monthly Dashboard • Each month the Senior HSSE team will conduct a full Phase 3 audit (HSSE standard operating procedures) with the sites. • Layered Process Auditing (LPA) documentation will be utilized to verify and validate key line items. Other line items will be audited as well. • Business Continuity Plan audit templates will be updated and the “heat sheet” below will reflect the current status of each site. • The “heat sheet” will be included as the COVID-19 scorecard in the monthly HSSE update reports effective period 6 2020 to monitor the status of sites’ implementation of the requirements of the audit line items.

Validation Audits Validation audits are important exercises for the sites and supporting Emergency Management Council functions. This will further help us understand how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidelines are applied in the decisions and actions taken during the tabletop exercise of a COVID-19 positive case. During the COVID-19 pandemic, video validation audits using technology (e.g., GoPro, cell phone camera) are to be conducted on at least a weekly basis across MLF. Best practice is to conduct the video validation on a daily basis or at the start of every shift. Video footage is effective in focusing validation on health initiatives and key control points (e.g., social distancing, temperature monitoring, cleaning and disinfecting keypads, door handles, etc.). The video validation process with technology (e.g., GoPro) can help verify correct steps are taken in implementing the COVID-19 program initiatives. Good practice with video validation includes playing the video footage during a “COVID-19 touchpoint meeting” with site leadership team members.

The video validation audits will also be incorporated into layered auditing. The results will be rolled up into Business Continuity Plan dashboards/scorecards to track execution of the controls. It is part of a continuous improvement process.

Visiting External or Internal Workplace

Return to Workplace Request Form: • Prior to visiting any internal or external workplace, Senior Leadership Team member (requestor) completes the “Return To Workplace Request Form” and submits to the MLF Manager, Occupational Health and Safety (Senior HSSE Team) for approval as per the “steps” on the form. • If the employee requires to pick up COVID-19 kit supplies from Meadowvale after the request form has been approved, then make a note on the form so that the approved form will be forwarded to the National Facilities & Emergency/Security Risk Manager.) • For non-permanent exemption office requests (e.g., visit the office for one day or a few days only), use the “Work At Office Request Form” with approvals by the 1-up Manager and Regional HSSE Manager or National Facilities and Emergency Risk Manager for the Meadowvale campus (instead of the “Return To Workplace Request Form”). Permanent exemptions for offices would fall under the “Return To Workplace Request Form.” • After the “Return To Workplace Request Form” is approved by the Senior HSSE Team and President & Chief Operating Officer, then the requestor or designate contacts Purchasing to obtain the COVID-19 kit supplies as applicable (i.e., internal visits: face protection; external visits: face protection, sanitizer, thermometer, and wipes, if available). Then, the requestor or designate arranges with Meadowvale mailroom to obtain the supplies.

Visiting Internal Workplaces (MLF Sites): • All employees will be required to wear face protection at all times upon arriving at the MLF property (e.g., including parking lots and screening area) during the COVID-19 pandemic, except while using the washrooms and while eating, drinking, or smoking during breaktimes. If a employee

COVID-19 PANDEMIC PLAN 50 of 56

has their personal face covering, it could be worn until they arrive at the screening area. • While at the MLF site, all employees will comply with site-specific requirements (e.g., screening, personal protective equipment, social/physical distancing). • Employees will keep a log and/or file a report of their visit (time of entry and exit, physical paths travelled to a reasonable level of detail, people with whom they may have interacted at close proximity or for prolonged periods of time).

Visiting External Workplaces: • All employees will be required to have a COVID-19 kit (face protection, wipes, sanitizer, and thermometer). • After the “Return To Workplace Request Form” is approved by the Senior HSSE Team and President & Chief Operating Officer, then the requestor or designate contacts Purchasing to obtain the COVID-19 kit contents as applicable (i.e., internal visits: face protection; external visits: face protection, wipes, sanitizer, and thermometer) prior to visiting the external workplace. • Prior to arriving at the external site, the employee must complete the MLF screening tool and temperature-taking. • While at external sites, they must wear face protection when leaving their vehicle. Then, site-specific protocols must be complied with. The more stringent personal protective equipment and screening requirements (MLF or external workplace) must be adhered to. • Employees will keep a log and/or file a report of their visit (time of entry and exit, physical paths travelled to a reasonable level of detail, people with whom they may have interacted at close proximity or for prolonged periods of time).

External Operational Essential Services:

What Is An External Operational Essential Service?

• A service that is necessary to run the business and keep the site operational. • A service, if not provided, would significantly impact the operations of a site (e.g., shutdown).

An approved external operational essential service provider will be permitted to a MLF site (with compliance to MLF’s protocols). There is a procedure to permit external operational essential services. onsite Although there is no approval form to complete, there is a list of external operational essential services that were approved by MLF’s Senior Leadership Team.

Examples of Approved External Operational Essential Services: • Security • Sanitation contractors • Maintenance contractors (e.g., for equipment repairs, fire suppression, building structural repairs, Original Equipment Manufacturers) • Third-party carriers • Yard and parking lot care (not going into MLF buildings) • Lagoon pumpers (not going into MLF buildings) • Third-party auditors for our RWA/Health programs • Technical support and RWA deliveries • Feed and hog deliveries • Breeder services

COVID-19 PANDEMIC PLAN 54 of 56

• Laundry services • Pest control • External safety consultants (e.g., to certify PPE to meet safety regulatory compliance) • Food/Drink vending machine vendors • Couriers (e.g., taking samples to the lab, files/documents delivery)

Procedure To Permit External Operational Essential Services To Be At A MLF Site:

• The site designate communicates with their Regional HSSE Manager about the requirement of the external operational essential service to be at the site. • The site designate also communicates with the function’s operational VP. • The function’s operational VP communicates with their 1-up/Senior Leadership Team member. • The Senior HSSE Team will conduct a safety review of the request with the stakeholders. • The Site Leader, operational VP, and Senior HSSE Team will confirm collaboratively the requirements for the external operational essential service to be onsite.
